Hi, 

 

I’ve recently added 2 of the sonos/ ikea speakers to my living room set up, having them as my rear speakers and a pair of ones as my front along with the play bar. Music sounds great but when playing films, the dialogue plays out of the bar and the two front one speakers. Any ideas con how to remedy? Cheers.

It is not possible to use a Sonos sound bar only as a center channel speaker. You cannot add a pair of speakers as separate front left and right speakers with a Sonos sound bar setup. The Playbar alone already includes the center, front left, and front right channels. Also, grouping these speakers will usually result in a slight audio delay from the grouped speakers when playing TV audio.

You’ve probably created two rooms, with the extra fronts in one room and the surround set up in the other room? Sonos does not do this kind of set up - that’s why you have to set up two separate rooms.
